Fantastic tour! George and Roger are so knowledgeable and friendly! I learned a lot on the tour and it was so well planned with sufficient touring and free time in each place. Highly recommend!
My wife, two teenagers and I enjoyed a full day excursion to Montserrat, Girona and Costa Brava “Tasso.” The tour was high quality from witty and knowledgeable guides (Roger y Gordi) to the professionalism of the driver. This is an excellent mode to visit three iconic places in Catalonia Spain near Barcelona.
We had an amazing time with George and Roger. They were a great balance of funny, educational and gave us great recommendations for hidden gems. They are truly invested in ensuring the group has a great experience.
Roger and George were amazing. My family had an amazing time. They were very friendly and knowledgeable while we were out seeing all the sights in Spain. I would highly recommend them both. George even went out of his way to get a croissant for my daughters while they went to the bathroom before we boarded the bus. He was very good to my family. Thank you both for a wonderful time in Spain that my family and I will remember for years to come
Great day adventure with George and Roger. Enjoyed the three destinations and knowledge shared about the locations.
